The Jewish cattle dealers sued the cooperative for refusing to pay the agreed price to farmers dealing with Jews.
The Harsfurt municipality municipality today warned local busines men dealing with Jews that they would not receive orders from the municipality. It also warned that others dependent on the municipality would not receive unemployment benefits if they are caught having any dealings with Jews.
